Importance Of Detoxing

We live in an ever-increasingly toxic environment. Many toxins, known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), are abundant in the environment today and did not exist 30 years ago. These include certain pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals that can enter the body through food, water, and air. These toxins can and often do become trapped in the body's organs and tissues, which over time can negatively impact health, vitality, and overall wellness, and may contribute to the development of chronic illness.

A detoxification program should be simple to complete and effective in outcome without concern for safety. By supporting the body's natural two-phase process of detoxification, toxins can safely and effectively be cleansed from the body.

Choosing a Detox Kit

It's important to choose a detox kit that works for you and your lifestyle. Choose a kit that has high-grade supplements. The two detox kits we offer are Designs for Health PaleoCleanse Plus, which comes in either a 14-day or 21-day detoxification program, and Biotics 10-day bio-detoxification program.

Both programs are designed to address the most common underlying causes of chronic health challenges. People notice that their chronic pain is reduced after following these programs, because you eliminate inflammatory foods from your diet. By eating cleaner foods, and taking these high-grade supplements your body will feel more energized without needing a cup of coffee.

Tip For All Those On a Detox Program

The road to good health has some challenges. The healing crisis is an opportunity for you to understand the process your body is going through to reach a state of health. Despite some withdrawal symptoms (for example withdrawal from coffee), you should experience more areas of improvement than discomfort. These brief episodes of symptoms should be considered signs of progress and an indication that you're on the road to good health.

Will I Lose Weight?

Most detoxification programs are not formulated for weight loss. However, fluid retention or bloating is a symptom of toxicity. As people begin to detoxify, they will lose retained fluids and possibly impacted fecal material, which will usually result in some weight loss.

Another Option For Detox

Infrared sauna is designed to promote a deep, healthy and natural detoxifying sweat. Removing the body of these toxins through a natural sauna detox may help relieve symptoms, prevent future illness and increase overall health and vitality.
